Unfortunately, this seems to be behind a paywall. Anyone care to give us a summary? Thank you, in advance. :)
Basically, Murdaugh's attorney is arguing that the Civil case should be delayed until after the cynical murder case is cleared because it might bring out evidence that would prevent Alex from getting a fair trial. The Beach's lawyers argue that the case has been delayed enough, that Murdaugh is gaming the system (and, in my opinion that they believe the longer it is drawn out the less likely they will be able to collect on a judgement).

The judge however and I think somewhat oddly decided that the suit will be delayed but not for the reason the defense argued, rather sure to the original defense council having since died of pancreatic cancer and the new attorneys needing adequate time to prepare the case.

Nice of him to give them time they didn't even ask for, right?

Lawyers for Parker’s want their trial to be separate from that of Alex Murdaugh and say they would be ready to start as soon as Oct. 3. In a filing, attorneys say being tied to Murdaugh is stopping them from having a fair trial.

Earlier this month, over the Beach family’s objections, a state judge broke up the case and ruled there will be two trials for Beach’s death: one for store owner, Greg Parker, and the other for Murdaugh and other members of his family.

In a court hearing Friday in Hampton County,state Judge Daniel Hall is expected to hear arguments for and against about his decision to create two trials.

The trial was originally set to begin Monday, Jan. 9 but has been delayed.

According to the court filing, a new trial date has not been determined yet.

Every time I hear about Mallory it just breaks my heart. Such a lovely young lady with so much life to live.

The Beach family and three of the 2019 boat crash survivors have settled their claims against Buster Murdaugh and his mother's estate, dismissing them as defendants from the lawsuit. The settlement agreement is quite complicated. Some takeaways as I understand them
